Customized Software for Forecasting &Inventory Replenishment

Decision Associates, Inc. (DAI)was created as a result of extensive client experiences. These included work in forecasting, replenishment planning, and efficiency improvements for managing the costs and structure of a wide variety of inventories. Three types of inventories emerged, each with differing efficiency requirements.

Distribution operations might stress greater inventory turns. Manufacturing operations usually stress production planning efficiencies where set up costs are critical. Maintenance inventories would likely highlight critical spares and availability in places like public utilities.

Customized Software for Forecasting & Inventory Replenishment

DAI has developed a software approach that is versatile enough to work in any of these three environments. That software is sophisticated and comprehensive enough to handle even the largest inventory operation. This software is our Stock Management System (SMS) and has been implemented in a wide variety of companies in many countries and locations throughout the United States.

SMS is used by some of the world’s leading companies to address database integrity, product forecasting, replenishment planning, and spare parts management. We differ from large Stock Status software in that we use this data to forecast, optimize, and plan replenishment schedules. The result is an optimized inventory that provides the highest availability at the lowest cost of managing that inventory. We work with clients to bridge the gap between existing Stock Status systems and SMS. We can make your Stock Status product much more effective than you might have imagined.

With an international client base, we have developed substantial expertise in supporting any software implementation. Updates are quick and easy through the internet. Enhancements – or special requests – can be handled quickly and at a minimal cost. In many instances, no enhancements are required. Customer support has always been a hallmark of DAI.
